EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 

DIRECTORS. 



Barnard Memorial Building, 

Boston, June 3, 1902. 
To the Members of the Corporation : 

When our association was incorporated in 1894, the material that 
a few of its members had collected in relation to their direct line of 
Ancestry, and abstracts of Probate and land records from the 
registers of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex counties made by your 
president, formed practically all the genealogical information at 
our command. The response of those of the name, or connected 
with it by marriage, to our call for family records, while far from 
what was desired, has been, perhaps, as full as could be expected. 
The work of our corresponding secretaries has put the association 
in possession of much valuable information, which, but for their 
efforts, would not have been available. All papers and reports 
were committed to Mr. William Sanford Hills, the Senior of our 
Board of Directors. From the first, the libraries of the New England 
Historic and Genealogical Society and of the city of Boston were 
freely used by him. At his own expense he has caused abstracts of 
court and land records to be made in various counties of New Hamp- 
shire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. All accumulated mate- 
rial had been so far analyzed and arranged that in June, 1900, j'our 
Directors voted that he, with the President, acting as a committee, 
be authorized to prepare the genealogy of the famil}- for publica- 
tion. The fact that for many years he has been totally blind, 
required that the transcribing of his arranged material should be 
done by his secretaries. After his appointment as Chairman of 
the committee he still continued to do all the work, except the 



4 EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT 

comparatively trifling amount contributed by his colleague, which 
consisted mainly in the revision of the work of his copyists with- 
out reference to his authorities or original documents, and the 
preparation of such statements as were deemed to be needed in 
connection with emigrant ancestors, and in certain cases to give 
the evidence that established genealogical facts. His associate on 
the committee was, however, so far familiar with his system of 
arrangement and methods, that the work of preparation for the 
printer could have been carried on if for any reason he had been 
compelled to relinquish it. But both members of the committee 
are well advanced in years, and your Board of Directors have 
thought it advisable, by the publication of the genealogy of the 
five generations of the family that can now be given to the press, 
to insure the association against possible loss, by fire, of its accu- 
mulations, or, by death, of the information that has been gained, 
that was not of record. They accordingly authorized the printing 
of the work which follows this report. It will be forwarded with- 
out charge to our members, and given to those who being eligible 
to membership shall join our ranks during the coming year. And 
as it is desirable that it should be examined by all interested in our 
genealogy, it will be forwarded to any person who shall make 
application for it, accompanied by the one dollar which is the 
annual assessment of the members of the association. It is impor- 
tant that all persons who may have information in relation to the 
birth, marriage, or death of any of the descendants of William, the 
emigrant of 1632, the head of the Connecticut branch, or of Joseph, 
the emigrant of 1638, the head of the family in Massachusetts, 
which is not fully set forth in this partial genealogj^, or who may 
have knowledge of a line, that, covering one or more generations, or 
even a single family, which can or cannot connect with any of the 
lines given in the work, should communicate it to the committee 
at once. 

It is the intention of the directors to immediately prepare copy 
for the printer, of the sixth and subsequent generations. The 



OF THE DIRECTORS. 5 

record now given to the famil}'^ and the public is not as perfect as 
the committee desire, and one of the reasons of issuing it is that 
its errors and omissions may be noted, that with tlie best informa- 
tion obtainable, this publication, duly revised and corrected, be 
made a part of a complete genealogy. Those who favor the Com- 
mittee on Publication with additions or corrections will please 
communicate with the president of the association.* The commit- 
tee will recommend to the directors that a copy of the work now 
issued be given to those who shall furnish information of special 
value. While genealogical information will be gladl}- received at 
any time, the promise of the Board of Directors is here given that 
such as shall be forwarded before Jan. 1, 1903, will appear in the 
genealogy of the Hills family, which will be prepared for publica- 
tion as speedily as possible after that date. 
Respectfully submitted, 

For the Board of Directors, 

THOMAS HILLS, President.

NECROLOGY, 190\-Z 



On the 3d of July, 1901, near the close of what for Boston had 
been a long heated term, William Nathaniel Hills left his home in 
his usual health. Business called him from the city. The day 
was intensely hot. His partners endeavored to persuade him to 
postpone his trip until it could be made with less discomfort. But 
prompt attention to business was his habit, and he went at once 
to Ipswich, a town some twenty-five miles northeast of Boston. 
He accomplished the object of his visit, and had arrived at the 
railroad station for his return, when he fell unconscious from a 
stroke of apoplexy and soon ceased to breathe. 

He answered the call for the preliminary meeting which resulted 
in the formation of our association, and from the date of its incor- 
poration to that of his death, he was one of its directors. The 
interest he manifested in its work at the beginning was unabated 
during his term of service. 

Born December 25, 1834, he died unmarried, and was buried at 
Lowell, Mass., the place of his birth. 

His line from the emigrant of 1638 was : Joseph, 1602-1688 ; 
Samuel, 1652-1732; Smith, 1706-1788; Nathaniel, 1745-1832; 
Paul, born Newbury, 1789, died Lowell, 1864. 

Philip Knapp Hills was born in Newburyport, May 6, 1820, 
and died in that city August 14, 1901. That he was a valuable 
citizen and enjoyed the respect and good- will of the residents of 
the place that was his lifelong home, was indicated by the appre- 
ciative notices of the local press at the time of his death. His 
business career was with the banks of Newburyport. For many 
years he was the treasurer of its Institution for Savings. His 



NECROLOGY. 7 

public service for that cit}' included four years with its School 
Committee, fourteen years as trustee of its Public Library, four 
years in its Common Council, and three years in its Board of 
Aldermen. 

In his young manhood he was connected with its fire department, 
and in 1851 was elected an assistant engineer. Prominent in Odd 
Fellowship, he was a member of his lodge for more than half a 
century, and he died Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of 
Massachusetts. One of the first members of the Newbury Histor- 
ical Society, he appreciated the work of our association. 

Although for several years before his death he was blind, yet 
with cheerful courage he retained his interest in all that had con- 
cerned him, and made the most of his opportunities. 

His descent from Joseph Hills, who was born in England in 
1602, emigrated to New England in 1638, was of Maiden for many 
years before 1665 when he settled in Newbur}', was through the 
emigrant's youngest son, Samuel, who died in Newbury in 1732. 
From SamueP the line was through Joseph^, Joseph"*, Joshua^, 
Joshua^ and Lydia (Knapp) Hills.

GENEALOGY OF FIVE GENERATIONS 



OF 



THE DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM HILLS 



OF 



ROXBURY, MASS., 1632, AND HARTFORD, CONK., 1635. 



William Hills, doubtless the first of the name to land in New 
England, was probably a native of the County of Essex in the 
mother country, the shire in which Joseph Hills was born and from 
which he emigrated in 1638. 

Researches in England point strongly to the probability that they 
had a common ancestor, who was living about two hundred years 
before they left Old for New England. (See fourth report, 1898, . 
page 5.) 

These two emigrants are distinguished as the progenitors of 
nearly all of their surname who are of New England ancestry. 

The first record relating to the earlier emigrant shows that he 
was a passenger in the ship " Lyon," William Pearce, master, 
which sailed from Bristol June 24, and entered the harbor of 
Boston on the 16th of September, 1632. The next record con- 
cerning him proves that as a resident of Roxbury he was admitted 
a freeman of that town on the 14th of May, 1634 ; that munici- 
pality became a part of Boston in 1868. "The first church in 
Roxbury was gathered in 1632." It is not known at what date the 
Rev. John Eliot, sometimes called the Apostle to the Indians, made 
his " records of such as adjoyned themselves unto the fellowship 
of this church of Christ at Roxborough." Of an emigrant of 
that year he says, " William Hills a manservant, he came over in 
the year 1632, he married Phillice Lyman daughter of Richard 
Liman, he removed to Hartford on Conecticott, where he lived 
several years, w^out giving such good satisfaction to the consciences 
of the saints." 

These are all the known records relating to the life of the emi- 



12 GENEALOGY OF WILLIAM HILLS. 

grant in Massachusetts, where it appears he lived as a " man- 
servant." It was common in the early days of the colonies for 
young men who wished to leave Old for New England to bind them- 
selves by indentures for a term of years, the consideration being 
money advanced for the payment of their passage and wages to 
the end of the specified term of service in the new country. 
Similar arrangements were doubtless made by young women of 
that time, for among Mr. Eliot's emigrant church members several 
are recorded as " maide " servants. 

Of the seventy male passengers of the " Mayflower *' as given in 
Hotton's original lists, at least nine can be identified as minors. 
John Hook is designated " a servant boy," John Howland and nine 
others as " servants," while George Soule and Elias Story recorded 
as " two men in Winslow family," were doubtless, with their fel- 
lows, bound for service to their more prosperous companions on the 
famous ship. 

The fact that Ann Mumford was a passenger on the " Lyon " on 
the voyage that terminated in September, 1632, and that she was 
the intended wife of the Apostle Eliot, strongly indicates that 
William Hills was indentured to that clergyman. That she was 
his affianced wife is clear, for in speaking of himself he said that 
those who formed his church came in a body and "settled at 
Rocksbrough, to whom he was fore ingaged. . . . Also his wife 
came along w*^ the rest of his friends the same time & soone after 
theire coming, they were married, viz. in the 8* month 1632." 
The indication becomes almost conclusive evidence when the record 
shows " Thomas Hills, a manservant, he came in the yeare 1633, 
— he lived among us in good esteeme & godly, & dyed about the 
IV^ or 12''' month, 1634, and left a good savor behind him, he 
was a very faithful & prudent servant & a good christian, he 
dyed in Mr. Elliots family." The records seem to tell this plain 
story. William and Thomas were brothers. They came from 
Essex in England, the home of Eliot, doubtless that of his wife 
and of the friends " to whom he was fore ingaged." The harsh 
criticism of WiUiam by his master and pastor followed some dis- 
agreement as to service or religious belief. Thomas died in 1634, 
William doubtless left Roxbury for Hartford with his father-in-law, 
Richard Lyman, October 15, 1635. With a farm of forty-eight 
and one-half acres, not including the " nine accres of salt marsh" 
or the "fifty five accres and a quarter" in another part of the 



GENEALOGY OF WILLIAM HILLS. 13 

town and " thirty and nine accres" in Dedham, and two other lots 
that Mr. Eliot had bought, aggregating more than twenty acres, 
that worthy saint doubtless regretted the loss of the services of the 
two brothers. It was not an age of tolerance, and it is not sur- 
prising, while he praised the faithful servant who died in his family 
that be could not think of the other as a good Christian. 

No record of the first marriage of William Hills has been found 
other than that already quoted and one other given by Mr. Eliot 
in his record of church membership: " Phillis Lyman the daugh- 
ter of Richard Lyman, she came to the land w*^ her fath"" aSo 
1631. God wrought upon her heart in this land ; she grew deaf, 
w^ disease increasing was a great affliction to her. She was mar- 
ried to William Hills & lived w*" him at Hartford on Conecticot." 
The date when this marriage terminated by the death of the wife 
is not known. She was living when the will of her father, the first 
on record at Hartford, was probated in 1G40. By it " Fillis, the 
wife of William Hills," received a legacy. Evidence recently dis- 
covered shows that she probably died before 1648. 

It has been generally accepted as a fact that Mar}', the widow 
of the emigrant of 1632, was his second wife, but it appears by 
probate records that she had two predecessors. The distribution 
of the estate of Thomas Bunce shows that one parcel of real 
estate, about four acres on the east side of the groat river, had 
been bought by the decedent of William Hills, and that the lot 
was "formally Richard Risley's, and came to said Hills by right 
of his wife relict of said Risley, as appears by a writting under 
said Hills hand, dated Feb. 26, 1680," witnessed by James Steele 
and Thomas Watts. The inventory of the Risley estate was filed 
October 17, 1648. The court records show there were three chil- 
dren, the eldest less than eight years old, " William Hill bringing 
them up and giving security to the court " for their several por- 
tions of their father's estate. 

The wife who probably survived William Hills was, before her 
last marriage, Mary, the widow of John Steele, who died in 
Farmington, Conn., some time after the date of his will in 1664 
and the filing of the inventor}- of his estate in June, 1665. The 
Warner genealogy states that Mary, daughter of Andrew Warner, 
of Hadley, Mass., married John Steele, January 22, 1646, and 
that her second husband was William Hill, of Hartford. When 
the widow Steele again became a wife is unknown. It was before 



14 GENEALOGY OF WILLIAM HILLS. 

the 25th of January, 1669, for at that date the Steele estate was 
settled, and in the instrument of distribution she is referred to as 
Mary Hill, and William Hill, her husband, " having taken upon 
himself to administer the estate, is to make good to the children 
as they come of age." That her second husband was William 
Hills, of Hartford, and that she was living some twelve years 
later, appear from the will of the emigrant of 1632, which is 
dated February 21, 1681, in which he refers to the revenues of the 
lands in Farmington as those he has " right unto by and in right 
of my wife," and provides that they be " demanded and received " 
for her. 

In the historical catalogue of the First Church of Hartford, the 
name of William Hills appears among those of the original and 
early members in connection with the words "dismissed July, 
1683, moved to Hadley." William Hills bought a large tract of 
land at Hoccanum (East Hartford), and resided there for many 
years. From it he deeded to sons and sons-in-law. That he had 
not moved to that place in October, 1669, is clear, for the Colonial 
records show that he, with his sons William and John, were 
"freemen residing on the south side of Hartford" at that date. 
It is a matter of some doubt if his death, in 1683, occurred in East 
Hartford or in Hadley, the early home of the wife of his old age. 

Concerning the genealogy of the early settlers of Connecticut, it 
should always be borne in mind that the town and church vital 
records are in a very vague, incomplete, and unsatisfactory condi- 
tion. Consequently, in tracing the genealogy of the descendants 
of William Hills, of Hartford, no records can be found of the 
births and marriages of many of the first four generations of those 
who could claim him as an ancestor. 

Fortunately the records of wills and administrations in the 
County Probate Courts furnish the names of most of the children 
of the decedents of those early days who were living at the death 
of their progenitor, and also those of grandchildren interested in 
the estates that passed through the courts. These, together with the 
land records in the Registries of Deeds, afford the only knowledge 
now obtainable of very many of the descendants of William Hills. 

John Hills- (William^) was doubtless born in Hartford before 
1648. The Colonial records show that he was a freeman of that 
place in October, 1669. He married at Say brook, Conn., April 14, 
1670, Jane Bushnell. 



GENEALOGY OF WILLIAM HILLS. 15 

An inspection of published works suggests that there were two 
John Bushuells living in those early days, one the grandson of 
John Bushnell, of Boston, in England, whose three sons, Francis, 
William, and Richard, emigrated to Connecticut, the other who 
certainly died in Boston, in New England, where his estate was 
probated in 1667. The John Hills who lived in Boston, whereby 
the report of the Record Commissioners he had children born to him 
from 1651 to 1666, had a daughter Jane who was born December 
18, 1662, and consequently was only eight years old at the date of 
the marriage of Jane Bushnell in Saybrook. But for the purposes 
of this work the important questions are, was the young husband 
John Hill or John Hills ; and, if he rightly carried s as the final 
letter of his surname, whose son was he? 

If John Hills was the son of William Hills, of Hartford, both 
questions are answered. There are four records referring directly 
to John, the son of the emigrant of 1632. The first, that shows 
that he was of age in 1669, has already been mentioned. The 
second is found in a deed dated March 14, 1677, conveying land 
in East Hartford from father to son. The third is where he appears 
in his father's will which was dated Febi'uary 21, 1681. The fourth 
is found in the records of the Probate Court which gives his nuncu- 
pative or verbal will that recites, " that when our brother John 
Hill lay sick of the sickness whereof he died, we did hear him say, 
that when his debts were paid, his wife shall enjoy all his estate 
during her mortal life, and what was left after her decease, shall 
be divided equally between his two daughters and being of good 
understanding and memory when he so declared." Sworn to by 
Jonathan Hill aged twenty-eight and Dorothy Hill aged twenty- 
five, dated September 1, 1692. 

It will be noticed that the scribe who drew this instrument and 
the recorder who attested the oaths of the husband and wife wrote 
the names of three different persons as " Hill," when they were 
known in the community in which they lived as " Hills." 

In following the early Colonial records relating to William Hills 
and his descendants, in fact, to any of the surname wherever 
recorded, the family name is as often spelled Hill as Hills. It is 
well known that a William Hill who was made a freeman in Dor- 
chester, November 5, 1633, left that place, which adjoined Rox- 
bury, about the time that William Hills left the last-named town, 
and that both settled in Connecticut, one at Hartford, the other at 



16 GENEALOGY OF WILLIAM HILLS. 

Windsor, the distance between their new homes being but six and 
a half miles. The descendants of neither of these neighbors were 
numerous in the seventeenth century, but the fact that a John Hill, 
of Guilford, married the widow Catherine Chalker, of Saybrook, 
September 3, 1673, raises the question if the bridegroom of that 
day was not the same person who, in April, 1670, married Jane 
Bushnell. This question is easily answered. The history of Guil- 
ford shows that the John Hill who married the widow was of that 
town as early as 1654, that he had a wife Frances who, before she 
died, was the mother of five children, and that her death in that 
town did not occur until May, 1673. In 1670 there was but one 
John Hills in the new settlements of Connecticut who was of age 
to be married ; that one was the son of William, of Hartford. 

Following the marriage in Saybrook the records of that town 
show that a son, Samuel, was born May 29, 1671. If that infant's 
family name was Hills, he was a grandson of William, the 
emigrant of 1632. 

In the report of the Hills Family Association for 1901, a some- 
what lengthy statement of facts was given that almost conclusively 
proves that a Samuel Hills, who was unquestionably born in 1671, 
was the person whose birth was of record in Saybrook as of that 
date ; that his surname and that of his son Samuel was Hills, was 
proved beyond a doubt, and their descendants of modern times 
are so designated. 

Every fact stated, and every deduction they justified, indicated 
that the Samuel Hills, who, in November, 1694, married Phebe 
Leonard of Duxbury in Massachusetts, and thereafter resided in 
that town for more than thirty years, and until he removed to 
Lebanon in Connecticut, was the son of John and Jane Hills, who 
were married in Saybrook, in 1670. The statement invited criti- 
cism, and in terms asked for information. It has been suggested 
that the name Samuel was not common in the family of the 
emigrant. It is true that neither of his five sons was so named, 
but two of his grandsons, children of his sons Joseph and Benja- 
min, were called Samuel. It was also suggested that if the infant 
born in Saybrook in 1671 had been the grandson of William, he 
would have been mentioned in his father's will, which he declared 
when he " lay sick of the sickness whereof he died." But it is a 
fact that in 1692, William Hills, like his brother John, left his 
property by a nuncupative will, and it is also true that he left it to 



GENEALOGY OF WILLIAM HILLS. 17 

his daughters, Pbillis, Mary, and Hannah, omitting to mention his 
other living children, Esther, Ebenezer, John, and Joseph ; and 
still another brother, Benjamin, b}' a will dated February 4, 1726, 
mentions only his children Benjamin, Susannah, Abigail, and 
Samuel. How many he omitted is not known ; he certainly left 
out John, who, when his brother Benjamin died in 1733, went upon 
the bond which the widow and her brother-in-law Samuel were 
required to give as executors. In this bond both John and Samuel 
are called brothers of the decedent. 

It should be remembered that in those early days nearly all the 
property' of the country was in land, and that it was the custom to 
give to some of the children of a family in their father's lifetime, 
their share of his estate. The argument that the evidence pre- 
sented proved that Samuel Hills, who was born in 1671, was of 
the Hartford branch, would have been convincing, but for the fact 
that when he returned to Connecticut, after his long sojourn in 
Duxbury, he did not go to the vicinity of his own and his father's 
birthplace, or to Saybrook, where relatives were resident, but 
settled in the newly-peopled town of Lebanon. The absence of a 
motive for such a movement, and the breaking of home ties to live 
as it seemed among strangers, made the change appear somewhat 
inconsistent with the theory that the facts seemed to justif}^ and 
on which the argument was based. With new evidence, a reason- 
able motive has been found to have existed. Lebanon was incor- 
porated in 1700. By Bushnell genealogy it appears that Francis 
Bushnell had sons, John and Richard ; that Richard married Mary 
Marvin, and had Richard, who was of Norwich, and who married 
Elizabeth, daughter of Deacon Thomas Adgate. Hines' " Early 
Lebanon " says that Richard Bushnell, the younger, was granted 
land in that town on the second of June, 1699, by a proprietors' 
vote. " Whereas he (Richard Bushnell) had been at considerable 
charge with the four proprietors of Lebanon in the setting up of 
said place they grant him one hundred acres of land above Edward 
Culver's house," and the author or a Mr. Morgan of Hartford, who 
furnished the historical notes for the work, adds that the land was 
" not a home lot. He was half brother of Thomas Adgate, an 
original proprietor." Richard Bushnell, senior, having died in 
1657, his widow in 1660 married Deacon Thomas Adgate and 
became the mother of the Thomas who was one of the original 
proprietors of Lebanon. 



18 GENEALOOr OF WILLIAM HILLS. 

Richard Bushnell, junior, lived and died in Norwich, but his 
half brotber, Thomas Adgate, had large interests in Lebanon, 
which adjoined Norwich and probably made the new town his 
home ; so there were doubtless relatives on his mother's side and 
perhaps land in Lebanon or its vicinity for Samuel Hills. But this 
is not all. Phillis Lyman, wife of William Hills, the emigrant, 
had a brother, Richard, who married Hepzibah Ford, and removed 
to Northampton, Mass., about 1655, where he died June 3, 1662. 
His son Richard, in 1675, married Elizabeth Coles, and in 1696 
removed to Lebanon, in Connecticut, " where some of his descend- 
ants have continued to reside until the present time," so there 
were relatives on his father's side living in Lebanon, when Samuel 
Hills removed to that town about 1726. A motive for the change 
of residence from Duxbury to Lebanon has been found, and there 
can be no reasonable doubt of the fact that Samuel Hills, who was 
born in Saybrook, May 29, 1671 was, the son of John and the 
grandson of "William Hills. 



1. William^, born in England, came in ship " Lyon," arrived in 
Boston, September, 1632; probably died at Hartford, 1683, where 
his will was probated, December 6 of that year. Married, 1st, 
Phillis Lyman, daughter of Richard and Sarah (Osborne) Lyman. 
Emigrated from High Onger, Essex County, England, in 1631. 
He married, 2d, the widow of Richard Risley, who died 

prior to October 17, 1648, which is the date of his inventory ; the 
date of her death is unknown. He married, 3d, Mary, widow 
of John Steele, of Farmington, who died there, 1653-4, daughter of 
Andrew Warner, of Hadley, Mass., who was living in 1681.

GENEALOGY OF FIVE GENERATIONS 



OF THE 



DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH HILLS, 1602-1688, 



OF 



MALDEN AND NEWBURY, MASS. 



Joseph Hills^. As stated in detail upon pages three and four 
of the third report of the directors of the Hills Family Association, 
it has been found that Joseph Hills was born in the parish of Great 
Burstead, Billericay, Essex, England. The record of his baptism 
reads, " 1602, March, Joseph Hilles the sonne of George, was 
baptized the third day." Neither the birthplace nor parentage of 
George Hills has yet been discovered. The earliest known record 
in relation to him is that of his marriage, — " George Hilles, linen 
draper, and Mary Symonds, of Billericay, County Essex, widow of 
William Symonds, late of same, tanner, general license of the 
Bishop of London, 13 Oct. 1596." An unfortunate break in the 
register of Great Burstead, all records between 1579 and 1596 being 
missing, will probably prevent the discovery of the maiden name 
and parentage of the wife of George Hills. 

Joseph Hills, as shown by his signatures, used but four letters, in 
the form now commonly used, in his surname. In the baptismal 
record of his brothers and sisters born before 1607, like that which 
relates to himself, the name has two vowels. The change to Hills 
in the entry of the christening of his sister Rebecca in February, 
1608, and of two younger children, doubtless followed the advent 
of a new Vicar into the living of Great Burstead. In that parish, 
on the twenty-second day of July, 1624, Joseph Hills was married 
to Rose Clarke whose birth record has not yet been found. There 
his elder children were born. Not later than March, 1632, the 
family removed to Maldon, also of Essex, which was the birth- 
place of sons John and " Steven " and of daughter Sarah. 



70 GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH HILLS. 

In 1638 he was the "undertaker" of the voyage of the ship 
" Susan and Ellen," which arrived July 17 of that year, and 
landed her passengers and cargo at Boston, in New England. 
His first abiding place was where the settlement of Charlestown 
was located by Governor Winthrop, between the Charles and 
Mystic rivers, and which, about the middle of the nineteenth 
century, became a city. In 1874 it was annexed to Boston. The 
family dwelling was " near the market place," but in a few years 
he was a resident of that part of the town north of the Mystic 
river, establishing his home at '* Mystic Side " on a farm of con- 
siderable size. He soon became active in public affairs, was 
selectman of the town in 1644, and in 1646 represented it in the 
General Court, as the colonial assembly' was then named, and as 
its legislature is still known under the Constitution of the State. 
Re-elected in 1647, he was chosen speaker of its House of 
Deputies. When " Mystic Side " was set off as a separate town, 
it was doubtless named by him for the place where he last dwelt 
in Old England. This part of ancient Charlestown has long since 
outgrown the town form of government, and with more than 
thirty thousand inhabitants, is known as the city of Maiden. 

While a resident of Mystic Side and Maiden he was captain of 
its train-band. At his death he willed his " buffe coate" to his 
son Samuel, and his " backsword " to Henry Lunt, his stepson. 
He was Maiden's first deputy, and the town had no other repre- 
sentative until after 1664. In 1665 Maiden was not represented, 
Mr. Hills having removed to Newbury, on the Merrimac River. 
In 1666 his son-in-law, John Waite, was his successor, and " for 
an unbroken series of nineteen years he filled this office," being 
Speaker of the House of Deputies in 1684 and nominated as a 
magistrate in 1683. 

In 1645 Joseph Hills was the first named on a committee " to 
set out lots to the settlers of Nashaway plantacon." In 1648 
he was first of a committee of four to change the location of the 
highway " between Winnesemet and Redding." In 1650 he was 
second of a committee, of which the governor was chairman, 
appointed to draw up instructions for the Massachusetts delegates 
to a gathering where" the commissioners of all the colonies shall 
meete." In 1653 he was one of a committee of six to consider the 
question, " if the Vnited Collonjes haue power by the articles of 
Agreement . . . to ingage the Collonjes " "in warre." In 1654, 



GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH HILLS. 71 

with Captains Hawthorne and Johnson, and the treasurer of the 
Colony, he was appointed to frame a reply to the home govern- 
ment, which had demanded an explanation of certain acts. Three 
times, in 1650, 1653, and 1661, he was of committees to audit 
the treasury accounts, but his greatest public service was that of 
the leading member of the committee that in 1648 reported to the 
General Court the first codification of the laws of the Colony. The 
story of his part of the work is well told by one of his descendants, 
Mr. D. P. Corey, in his history of Maiden, published in that city, 
in 1899. That he was the actual compiler of the laws, that he 
prepared the copy for the press and supervised their printing, is 
clearly proved. The colony recognized the great value of his 
woi'k, not only by a money paj'ment but by a grant of five hundred 
acres of land on the Nashua River, now a part of Southern New 
Hampshire, and the remission of his taxes in his old age. But 
new laws were from time to time enacted and old ones changed, 
and " the Courte finding by experience the great benefitt that doth 
redound to the country by putting of the lawes into printe," in 
1649-50, 1653, 1654 and 1661 appointed committees as stated 
in the vote of the last-named year " to peruse such lawes as are 
vnprinted & vnrepealed & comitt them to the presse." 

For this work Joseph Hills had such prominence that his 
appointments to these committees were three times as numerous as 
those of any of his colleagues except Governor Bellingham who, 
notwithstanding his official position, was outranked by his less 
distinguished associate in the number of times he was designated 
for such service. 

Rose Clark, the first wife of Joseph Hills, died at Maiden, 
March 24, 1650, and he married, June 24, 1651, Hannah (Smith), 
widow of Edward Mellows, of Charlestown, who died about 1655. 
In Januar}', 1656, he married Helen, or EUine, or Eleanor, 
daughter of Hugh Atkinson, of Kendall, Westmoreland, England, 
who died at some date between January 8, 1661, and November 10, 
1662. In connection with this marriage a noteworthy incident 
occurred. In the early days of the Colony all marriages were 
solemnized by magistrates, the clergy having no part in the cere- 
mony. In 1641 Governor Bellingham, as magistrate, married him- 
self to Penelope Pelham, and when called on to come down from the 
bench and plead to a complaint against him for the act, refused to 
do so. Joseph Hills was a magistrate "for the trial of small 



72 GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH HILLS. 

causes," and followed the Governor's example in his marriage of 
January, 1656, but, unlike the Governor, did not escape public 
censure. The records of the Court for Middlesex County show 
that, April 1, 1656, " Mr. Joseph Hills of Mauldon being presented 
by the Grand Jurj^ for marrying of himself, contrary to the law of 
this Collony page 38 in ye old Booke. Hee freely acknowledged 
his offence therein, and his misvnderstanding the grounds whereon 
he went w"*^ he now confesseth to be vnwarrantable. And was 
admonished by the Court." March 8, 1665, he married, at New- 
bury, Ann, the widow of Henry Lunt, of that town, and until his 
death made her dwelling his home. 

His petition to the General Court, dated May 24, 1682, recites 
that "in the latter part of his pilgrimage" he was "totally" 
bereaved of "the sight of his eyes for more than 4 years now 
past." He died at Newbur}-, February 5, 1688.

conveyed an estate in trust for " Deborah, the wife of John 
Pemberton of Maiden," probably led the compiler of the genealogy 
of that family to state that the wife referred to was the daughter 
of the grantor. The record of his children makes it safe to assume 
that the Deborah who was born in 1657 was the first of her name 
in his family. If another Deborah was born to him after her death 
in 1662, she would not have been of marriageable age in 1676.

The Porter genealogy states that this Dorothy, about 1696, mar-

any record was found, was : 
i. Benjamin, b. Swansea, Sept. 11, 1710; d. 

30. A dacghter3 (Gershom^, Joseph'). There can be no 
doubt that there was a daughter of Gershom and Elizabeth (Chad- 
wick) Hills, whose given name is unknown. This appears by the 
deed that convej'cd the homestead estate in Maiden, where she 
was born, to Ebenezer Hills in 1721. By that instrument, " John 
Chaffee and Sarah his wife, Joseph Chaffee of Barrington and John 
Tomson of Rehoboth," part with their respective interests in the 
property. Rehoboth and Swansea are adjoining towns, and "John 
Tomson " doubtless joined in the conveyance for the same reason 
as his brother-in-law of Barrington, that was, as a husband of a 
daughter of Gershom Hills, who had died before the sale of the 
Maiden estate.

It is certain that Sarah, Abigail, and that other daughter of 
Gershom Hills, who was the wife of John Tomson, were married 
and settled in Swansea or Rehoboth in or about the first decade of 
the eighteenth century. It is equally certain that their cousin 
Samuel, the son of Samuel-, their father's half brother, was of 
Swansea in 1708, and in Rehoboth as early as the 11th of June, 
1711, the date of the birth of his daughter Margaret in that town. 
The facts that prove the removal of SamueP from Newbury to 
Southern Massachusetts are stated on pages 4 to 9 inclusive of the 
sixth report (June, 1900) of the Hills Family Association.

ble. As he was unmarried h: probably then resided with his 
brother Henry. After his marriage he lived in Newbury until 
about 1788. when he returned to New Hampshire. He probably
